Blazing Ownager posted:I have to admit this thread makes me all the more glad I stayed miles away from the Occupy movement. I could tell the people "at the top" were loving idiots with no plan, and oh boy I was right. It's a shame, there were some good people with good ideas involved. Too bad it was such a logistical shitshow.

Ambrose Burnside posted:also some occupies were clowntown co-opted nonsense while others actually did good and useful things like feed the community and do proactive outreach stuff n establish communal libraries n the like Those are generally useful and admirable things but not really all that valuable when trying to hammer through political change through organized dissent.

hemophilia posted:There's something to be said for buying good will outside of the demographically limited reach OWS initially had. Of all the people to cultivate for political change, the mentally ill and addicted aren't the ones. OWS had to (and did for a moment) catch the attention of white middle class America but failed to make their case because they were too far up their own rear end. They were the living embodiment of raising awareness as its own end.

hemophilia posted:It's not smart to be choosy about your allies, but yes allowing people like Justine to lead your movement is stupid poo poo, but as you say OWS' failing was their failure to do anything remotely sympathetic or evocative while in the spotlight and they paid for it, at that point people like Justine aren't necessarily the problem. Nah she's just another internet crazy for all of us to observe in her natural habitat.

The only thing worse than having a bunch of rich fucks run the Earth would be turning it over to a bunch of autistic techies.

Techies are just the autistic tinkerer gnomes that actual functioning people keep around because they fix stuff. Everyone knows we can never put them in charge because of things like that Nokia video game console and bitcoins.

Tubgirl Cosplay posted:So long as their big plans for seizing power are things like "internet poll to replace the President with a CEO of America" and "declare a boat anchored off the San Franscisco shoreline an independent state where mom can't ever tell them to clean up their room" I think they'll continue to find exactly their level without anyone else's help Conquer an African Island and displace the population so they can create their dragon-dick utopia.

SunAndSpring posted:Is this person still hired by Google? Like, has anyone sent these dumbass tweets to her supervisors yet? Last time she was on a tear she ended up retweeting some poo poo I said earlier in the thread about techies being our autistic gnome servants or something and having a meltdown after which I think her employers told her to STFU because she closed her twitter and then quietly reopened it later and has been pretty chill since..
